About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with nine years of experience in clinical and addiction-related settings. She has worked across prevention, community, and residential programs and spent time in early childhood services and at an LGBTQ+ center. Brittany’s practice covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, addictions, relationship and family struggles, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people set clear goals and builds straightforward plans to reach them. Sessions focus on concrete steps rather than abstract talk. Brittany expects honest effort and gives candid feedback while remaining respectful.
Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting current functioning. These approaches are used to address symptoms and patterns that show up in day-to-day life.
She has experience with additional concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and control issues, dependent personality patterns, substance addiction, and family-of-origin problems. That experience comes from work in multiple settings over nearly a decade.
People who prefer clear expectations and direct feedback often find this approach helpful. To begin, readers are asked to use the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and then test new behaviors to change daily outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like body image or codependency patterns.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events are affecting current reactions and relationships. It uses paced, focused work to reduce upsetting symptoms and improve coping when trauma or abuse is part of the history.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk openly about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress and needs evolve.
